SWIS CAPPING STACK SYSTEM

Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) can provide members global access to an integrated intervention system
comprising of four capping stacks and two incident response toolkits.

The Capping Stack System: Key Facts

•F our capping systems, including two 18¾” 15k stacks and two 7¹⁄₁₆” 10k stacks
(with ancillary equipment)
• Transportable by sea and/or air
• Available for a variety of international metocean conditions
• Designed for subsea use to a maximum of 3000m water depth
• Stored in four strategic regional locations around the world – Brazil, Norway, Singapore and South Africa
• Manufactured by Trendsetter Engineering

ROV Panel Use of Spreader Bar to run

The four capping stacks (both full bore and the Capping device
reduced bore) are designed into a standard
configuration with common pipework, valves, Acoustic real-time pressure
chokes and spools all rated to 15kpsi.

The key difference is the use of 7¹⁄₁₆”
10k gate valves for the 10k stacks and 18¾“ Lower Connector surface
15k rams for the 15k stacks.
